Indiana Wesleyan University Diabetes and African American Men Paper

 

  1. Read Chapters 12, 13, and 24 in the textbook, Public Health Nursing: Population-centered Health Care in the Community.
  2. Conduct a search to identify the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in your selected geographic community. Find at least two current scholarly sources to support your explanations and insights. OCLS resources are preferred sources and can be accessed through IWU Resources. Wikipedia is not permitted, as it is not a peer-reviewed, scholarly source. Consider selecting a communicable or chronic disease other than cardiovascular disease, which is the most prevalent chronic disease in the world.
  3. Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following:
    1. Conduct a search to identify the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in your selected geographic community. Report your findings briefly.
    2. Based upon your findings, select one communicable or chronic disease of public health concern within the identified geographic community, and apply the epidemiological triangle or web of causation to explain the epidemiology of that disease process.
    3. From a population-focused perspective, what is the impact of the selected chronic or communicable disease you have identified? Explain your response.
    4. Identify and describe intervention strategies for this disease from the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention.
    5. Specific to your selected disease, discuss how surveillance of epidemiological health data serve to promote the health of a population and prevent illness.
  4. Whether written or spoken, interactions are expected to:
    1. clearly and thoroughly address the prompt with meaningful information that shows critical thinking.
    2. introduce your own ideas and questions to add greater depth to the discussion, rather than restating what your classmates have shared. (Include much more than “Great post,” or “I agree.”)
    3. refer to relevant course concepts as you discuss your learning together.
    4. develop insightful conversation by directly addressing your classmates’ ideas.
    5. demonstrate professionalism.
